So I've got another One Shot idea · 2:06am Mar 21st, 2016
I have the next chapter for my FlutterKnight story figured out, but writing it will take a little more time and I've got my hands full lately. I also have the chapter after this next chapter for I Always Win finished, and it's a doozy if I do say so myself! I just can't seem to get this next one typed up, short as it should be. The same can be said for Flutter Knight, though that chapter will probably end up being the 5th or 6th depending on how I end up dividing the chapters, I think the next ones will be pretty long and I'm being a little lazy with the story, I also want to be certain before I submit chapter, the first few chapters are the foundation so to speak for all the rest. Anyway, so this current idea of mine is a mashup of The Seelie and unseelie courts only with Discord in the middle of day and night, and Luna and Celestia as the obvious, I believe I'll have a little Disclestia in it, but only playful flirting and mock annoyance. Maybe a short dance? Anyhow, first off how it starts off (I know it's a bit dramatic) :
The great palace on the cliff side shines brightly as the sun sets, the brilliant rays of light reluctant to relinquish its brilliance to the oncoming moon. In a desperate attempt to linger a moment longer it stretches its rays as far and wide as it can reach before it is pulled asunder past the emerald blades of grass and azure oceans shimmering in its final light. This bears a significance and the feeling of finality that it always does, but and inevitability all the same though the great ball of fire's struggles have been set to rest until the coming day when it shall rise again and glorify the land in its brilliance. Tonight however, shall be more glorious in itself than any days that have come before it, so the hours waited after with anxiety promises.
Everyone is either safely indoors by this, the begging and then the death of the sun, or they await the approaching hour. The knights of her Royal Highness stand tall expecting the change at any moment, some even hold their breath, that would be the new recruits who have never experienced the transformation of the men at arms that had been there for years. The extinguished sunlight is now nothing more than a faded glow over the horizon until it is gone forever until the time again comes, calling for its return.
As the moon glided across the sky the stars danced and the world below began to change. First it was the plant life, sunflowers and others of that ilk were downtrodden in their expressions as moon flowers and other flora of the starlight hours began to emit their entrancing glow that attracted moths and passers by. The Fireflies were troubled to find their light outdone by the flowers yet again, but their protests went unheard and they only blinked in and out of sight. Everything else was cast into shadow, give or take a few candle lit areas and the occasional luminous toadstool.
Standing at attention along the battlements the Crown's own guards too were visibly affected by the time of day, their ears became harshly pointed, their eyes turned to pupils and their wings became a shade of midnight purple that coincided with their darkened armor as well. They were not to be crossed.
The moon, unlike the sun that fell before it, sheds its light rather lazily as if it too felt lethargic as the world in those bare moments betwixt. In the height of her power she is in no rush, there is no need nor the urgency. For as the moon rises she is confident that she has all the time in the world. The princess Luna is drunk with the thrills the night shall bring to all that roam at this time of night, and all the lovers that sneak away to dance under the bright lantern aglow beneath the luminescence of the full moon. The world now changes and perceives the world with new eyes overlooking nothing. With the Majesty of night breathing new life unto them everything is cool and for just a second, Equestria is cool and tranquil. And then she takes a breath everyone felt the land holding just as they themselves had waited for this approaching of the dark and still absence of the sun.
Fearing not the true darkness as there are starts aplenty to replace the one hidden now, yet still in close proximity. It is more than enough light with the moon's own rays rivaling what had once been the role of the great solar flower that reigned what now feels like an eternity ago.
